Yeah literally

What a name from other Guy?

Yes👍

I'm 32 y.o (33 in the end of February), just started learning general basics of martial arts, tried to split and now i feeling a bit pain in my stomach. Is it normal when you started to stretch hamstring / split?

​@@yomiha.toysjogja No I never had stomach pain while practicing splits

​@@yomiha.toysjogja me neither. Maybe grt it checked.

I like how this could be interpreted as tears or tears

Are stretches considered a workout?

@@-.-_-.-_-.-_-.-_-.-_-.-_- Sure! Stretching can be considered a workout, eg for mixed martial arts stretching is very important because we need flexibility to kick and also some submissions require good flexibility, nontheless to defend/slip.

No problem🤝

@@nathearn a quick question, does the hard stretches help increase your leg kick higher or the easy ones?

@@Imrllyboredsoidkwhattoputonher both, only ones for beginners and the others for more experienced/flexible people.

🤝🤝glad you think so

I feel you, I used to do TKD and made it all the way to 2nd Dan, but it’s been years and I lost all my middle split flexibility. My hamstrings are good and I can almost kick straight up into the air, but my side kick won’t even go waist level without me bending my rear leg. It’s important now even though I don’t do striking sports anymore because I practice judo and jiujitsu, and it’s the one area I’m not very flexible.

@@davidhaas3111 im sorry you lost the flexibility but i really envy your consistency! I sometimes tend to give up when its about sports and stretching to get flexible

hi chicken nugget

Amen

Key word: most. Not all.

I remember when i started tkd and I literally died trying to do the splits and after 7 years I still can't do perfect splits. I am way more flexible tho

@@Andrewforgot it all comes down to muscular endurance and genetics. It took me a year to finally get the splits, and now I'm going for hyperflexibility. I'm sure if you don't give up, even after 7 years, you'll be successful with your flexibility eventually.

@@StarsAreBright I genuinely thought it was funny how I was able to do it perfect and now i can't

What burn?

@@ILikeFood296 When your muscles stretch you feel some tension, when that tension hurts a little bit (burn) your muscles are properly stretching🫵.

​@@nooftaheri3502 Muscle tearing ?

​@@nooftaheri3502 When my muscle starts to burn I stops I can't take the risk

​@@Gogetaover90000 Obviously it shouldn't hurt, but it does need to feel. If it doesn't actually feel like something is happenin', then most likely ur doing it wrong but yeah

😎appreciate that

No problem👍

Keep your back / bottom knee bent if you can still reach up, also lowers your surface area. You'll already be leaning back so you can use your opposite arm to help swing back to return to a guard position quicker.

and when i say keep it bent, i mean lower yourself quicker after full kick extension

Also try looking up ankle stability exercises, glute medius exercises, hip airplanes, and single leg balance drills. All of those can be really helpful for kick balance and balance in general.

They won’t soon bro💪

What belt are you at now? Just curious

@@TonyGBennet green belt

@@nathearn Thank you Sir!

💪💪you’re welcome

🤝🤝

Splits are easy but a different kind of exercise, I am honestly impressed that he doesn't have his legs open the whole way with his martial arts prowess.

sure

Go for it, you’re welcome🤝
